  1. I'd point them to reservoir dogs in that case
  2. Kawasaki dealer
  3. I don't like digital gauges, I'm old and old skool so use one of these https://www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/motorcycle_parts/content_prod/497461
  4. lovely bike, but you do know this is a mainly UK based forum?
  5. Workshop/shed hunting, finding one I like is proving difficult
  6. When I started driving all those years ago, petrol was around 38p a litre. If only my wages had increased as much at that stuff has.
  7. Jacket Question for the wise of the group I have an Alpinestars Ketchum Goretex jacket, which I washed at the end of last year due to bugs and dirt. I kept the temps low (30c) and used liquid cleaner instead of the usual washing powder and no conditioner/softerner. When I wore it out in the rain the goretext had gone, I got soaked. Not a happy bunny. Do I need to use Nikwax on goretex or has something gone wrong with the jacket? Thanks in advance
  8. Little trip down to Southend then back via a dealer who had a KTM demo day.
  9. A few of us went out for a little bimble down to the Custom Cafe Eastbourne. https://fb.watch/kQGH3UL-Sv/
  10. After two longs weeks working, I've got to put and handle and additional lock on a gate then clean the bike after going for a long ride.
  11. Working all weekend, urgent customer demand. Still at least I'll be using the bike to get to/from them.
  12. I'll do my best to be there for May 30th, I've got an operation scheduled for the 14th June, doubt I'll be mobile enough to make the June date.
  13. Poor BMW driver though
  14. My weekend started on Thursday which was shooting the Essex Masters, good day out with decent weather and even better company. Friday and Saturday was car shopping as I need to replace the little Abarth with something that can sit on motorways better. Today is shooting again then giving the bike a wash before tomorrow's Mayday run to the coast.
  15. If I knew there was something on at Brands I would have popped down
  16. After two days of a customer doing my nut, I'll be off out for a ride after food!
  17. @Stu the Freecom's dont have DMC sadly.
  18. The other option on the test, is to take the right lane, indicating right at the time. On the test they cannot fail you for taking a wrong turn, only for failing to appropriate measures to turn.
  19. The issue I could see with indication at that point is that the traffic behind might not know the area and think that you could be turning into that no entry junction. As above I'd position myself in the lane correctly (slightly left) and have a shoulder check.
  20. I receently had a Tracer 9GT on loan whilst some work was being completed on my Tracer 700. I didn't find the seat bad at all, but then again it does take a very long day on my tracer which everyone moans about the seat on the 700's. The extra power was nice and expected, played with the various rider modes made for entertaining moments. Would I buy one as my next bike, I'm not really certain. I have Road 6's on mine which give a level on confidence I simply didn't have on the demo bike.
  21. Other than giving the bike a wash after going for a ride, it's mostly a clay shooting weekend, I hope everyone enjoys whatever they get up to

    North Coast 500

    We are planning on doing the NC500 sometime this year, but I did it pre-covid in my Abarth, and for me the best road was from Spean Bridge to Dalwhinnie Distillery.... The A86. Up along the River Spean/Loch Laggan.
  23. Tomorrow will be spent with more time driving to/from a customers site than the time spent completing the work required. Still it's all overtime.
  24. Have to admit I've not read the full topic, but I found the below link interesting when I watched if.
  25. Find somewhere that sells road workers highviz type products. Usually the waterproof gear they wear can last quite well.
